This coupled with melting glaciers should prove quite disasterous! By Julia Musto via Fox News By the mid-2030s, scientists believe that coastal regions in the U.S. will begin to experience an increase in high-tide flooding (HTF), partially due to a "wobble" in the moon's orbit. In a NASA-led study published in June in the journal Nature Climate Change, researchers said that the planet's lunar cycle would exacerbate sea level rise (SLR) spurred by climate change in coming years. The study authors used scenarios and "flooding thresholds" to show how the effects of SLR and "nodal cycle modulations of tidal amplitude" lead to severe inflections in projections of future HTF. In addition, the research – which the agency said takes all known oceanic and astronomical causes for floods into account – said annual cycles and sea-level anomalies could lead to seasons or monthslong periods during which days of HTF will cluster, resulting in "critical frequencies" of HTF occurring during monthly or
